A.M. Conversations

bonus chapter - 21| baby?

Beastboy was frantically running around. He had just finished defeating Dr. Light, and he didn't want to be late to his own baby's gender reveal. Going into cheetah mode, he sprinted towards the tower.

He made it there 5 minutes before time. He ran to his old room, finding his pregnant fiancée sitting on the bed.

Raven glared at him, "It takes 30 minutes to get a cake, Garfield."

Dammit, she was mad.

Beastboy coughed as he took his shirt off, "I ran into a little trouble."

Raven's demeanor immediately changed, "what kind of trouble?"

Lie and deflect. "A lady didn't have enough money to pay for her groceries so I helped. But I'm here now."

Beastboy turned when he didn't hear a reply from her. He noticed that he eyes were zeroed in on his stomach. He assumed the she was checking him out, until he realized that Light had delivered a particular powerful kick right there. He looked down the see a fist sized bruise covering the right side of his abdomen.

Shit.

"Garfield."

The razor edge tone of her voice made him look at her. Her glare could kill.

"You got into a fight? Why didn't you call me? I would have came!" her voice rose at the end.

Beastboy turned his back to her as he put on his white button up shirt, "It was Dr. Light. I didn't need help."

Raven rose to her feet, "I don't care if it was an unknown robber. We work as a team. This is the third time this month that you've don't this."

When Raven realized that Beastboy still had his back to her, she marched over to him and turned him around. "I'm talking to you!"

Beastboys jaw locked. God, she was dense sometime, "and I hear you, mama. Can we talk about this after the reveal, please?"

Raven sat back down on the bed. "No."

Beastboy rubbed his head, "Rae, ple-."

"No, we are going to talk about this now. Last time you tried to fight Slade by yourself, you almost died." Raven started to tear up, "all I ask is that you fight villains with me. If I lose you-!"

Beastboy finally burst, "That's why!"

Raven was a little shocked as Beastboy moved closer to her, "Rae, if you or my baby got hurt out there..." his voice trailed off.

"I can't promise that I won't murder the bastard who did it. Please understand that when my mate is pregnant, I will stop at nothing to protect her." Baratboy locked Raven in a warm hug. "I can't risk losing you."

Raven's heart broke at his words. She wrapped her arms around him. "I understand that you don't want me to get hurt, but I want to help. You can't solo everyone, Gar."

Beastboy pulled back with a sigh. "Fine, you can help. but if I think the situation is getting out of hand, I won't hesitate to make you leave."

He grabbed Raven's hand, giving her a wink. "Let's do this."

Beastboy watched from a distance as Blake hugged his wife. Despite him trying to hold it back, he let out a small growl.

Victor laughed at him, "You still react like that?"

Beastboy grumbled, "I can't help it man. I don't want him touching her."

"Dude, your child is growing inside of her." Cyborg stated, taking a sip of his punch.

Nightwing shrugged, "Doesn't make a difference. When Kori was pregnant, I didn't want Damian to touch her, and he's my brother."
